Bulldog Spindle iKon

I am not saying too much except what a great razor. Does exactly what its suppose to do:happy102

 

whats its weight, magic?and how would you compare it with a Merkur 11C or Muhle open comb?

 

This razor weighs 85 grams and heavier then the 11C. I did have(sold it) the 2009 Muhle R41 open comb. Beautiful razor but much lighter then the iKon and 11C.

Best shave

Thanks magic,thats really helpful!I like heavy razors and the Ikon seems to have the perfect weight and length for me.

 

I just got mine too. Wonderful shaver. The thing that stands out is how smooth the shave is. The design seems to reduce tugging compared to my 38c, even with a fresh feather in each. This is an excellent shaver.

Cheers,
Colin

 

Gah... stop it... you're killing me
I'd love to own one but it's not in the budget right now :sad029

 

What he said. So you guys just stop it now! My wife would kill me if I spent anymore right now.

But then, I did establish my own paypal account......hmmmmm

 

Compared to what some(I mean all) women have in their closets you have to ask yourself whats a couple of razors:happy102

 

Had my first shave with mine this morning and I like it. Nicely finished (not flawless, but very nice) and very smooth. Aggressive, but not too aggressive. Had an Astra blade in mine.

 

The Astra works great but now take it a step further and use the ultimate that was made for this razor F E A T H E R

 

I'll give it a try!

 

Enjoy the Bulldog Spindles - not sure when or if I will ever make those time consuming monsters again.



Here is a sneak peak at my next style of open comb head "The iKon Deluxe" - the pictured draft is a reverse engineering blueprint

Really working hard on these and hope to offer a totally superior finished product soon.

 

Christmas is coming up and my wife is wondering what to get me. Just maybe an Ikon is in the future. NO...one is on the list and I'll make sure she checks it twice.

 

The drawing looks like an open comb slotted design instead of 3 pins

 

I'm glad I grabbed one of the Spindles. Easily the best razor I've shaved with and I'm still getting used to it. I can only imagine how tough these are to manufacture...

 

Ikon Spindle type

I've had one for a few months. It doesn't even have an Ikon icon on it. I get beautiful shaves with it. Only problem I ever had was with a Derby that I did not make sure was centered. Derbys are the widest blade out there and give more blade exposure. Now I don't use Derbys in it anymore. Instead I am currently using Astras and making sure they are centered. This works great.
Can't wait to score one of the short comb New types.
